I needed a quick PiP solution on a new iMac and noticed in my Mac App Store that I had previously downloaded PiPifier App.

I didn't know that it needs to see all read and write and typing permissions in order to function and found this odd.

I have used the Wipr ad block app and love it and many threads back everyone expressed how Wipr can be trusted but to always visit their site and verify for yourself.

But I do digress, this post is meant to focus on a PiP solution for Safari, whether it be on my iPhone, iPad, or iMac or MBP.
 
Which streaming services are you trying to use? I also used PiPifier before, but for instance Netflix allows if you hold the blue speaker icon that is in the address bar when you start a show/movie you can make it PiP nativly. This doesn't work for all of the services and so far Netflix is the only one I have tried.

This is what I do too. Works with YouTube, Hulu, Disney+, my local news sites, etc. Very rarely come across a site where it doesn't work.

Thanks for that info good to know that it works on those also. If I remember correctly a while back I had problems with I believe Paramount+ and that was initially why I got PiPifier, but I haven't watching anything on that in a while so maybe the webpage has been updated I will have to try it out someday
